My son has been attending this nursery for almost a year now and he has come leaps and bounds since attending. When we first started bringing him he was a shy little boy with a tendency to tantrum, now he is polite and his verbal skills have improved a lot! I am very grateful to this nursery for everything they have done for me and my son, and his difficulties. I would very much recommend sending your children here. The staff are amazing and all so lovely.

Our Daughter, Sophie, has just finished her time at Starjumps to go to school. She first went to Starjumps having had a large chunk of her toddler phase during COVID lockdowns. She was not used to group settings outside of her family, and was somewhat shy and reserved. She's leaving Starjumps a transformed child; chatty, confident, happy. She's able to share and wait her turn, amongst many other important social skills; and this is in no small part due to her time at Nursery. The staff are all lovely people, and truly couldn't recommend Starjumps any more strongly. Sad to see Sophie move on, because she has loved it there.

Since my child started to attend Starjumps we have been so amazed at how much progress they have made with all elements of their development. The staff are all extremely professional, caring and nurturing to a child's individuality. They have identified what works well to engage my child which has then enabled them to connect to my child's development. The nursery is clean and with the different rooms helps the transition from baby to toddler to preschool well. The best part is seeing how happy my child is at nursery and how she has developed friendships and trust with other children and staff. I really love the app which helps us to track our child's progress and which we can have input adding videos and updates of work we do at home to hit educational milestones. Rebecca, Lucy and ALL the staff are amazing and I would highly recommend Startjumps to anyone looking for a nursery. They also accept free childcare hours which was great and cater to full time and term time placements. Half day and full days are available with hot food.. which our child eats... and seconds most days! Great place seriously cannot fault them in any aspect!
